If you have a broadband connection, then comment out (#) the CD-ROM 
entry in /etc/apt/sources.list and write a new line for the nearest 
Debian repositiry.

If you dont have broadband:
You already used the ‘Debian GNU/Linux testing _Etch_ - Official 
Snapshot i386 Binary-1 (20060314)’  when you were installing Debian, if 
not there would not be this entry in your sources.list file. Just put in 
the CD from which you installed Debian into compueter and follow the 
instructions. If I remember correctly there is everything you need to 
install kdebase on the first Debian CD.
